Many surgery procedures performed in medical tourism destinations cost a fraction of the price they do in First World. For example a liver transplant that costs $300,000 USD in America cost about $91,000 USD in Taiwan. A large draw to medical travel is convenience and speed. Countries that operate public health-care systems are often so taxed that it can take considerable time to get non-urgent medical care. Using Canada as an example, an estimated 782,936 Canadians spent time on medical waiting lists in 2005, waiting an average of 9.4 weeks. Canada has set waiting-time benchmarks, e.g.26 weeks for a hip replacement and 16 weeks for cataract surgery, for non-urgent medical procedures.
